MARGARET THATCHER IN BILLERICAY SCHOOL

Some interesting social media contributions this morning from former pupils of Billericay School who mentioned the day that former prime minister Margaret Thatcher visited their school. Here we see Billericay's head. the late Arthur Lingard with the great lady. This was taken from my book THE BILLERICAY SCHOOL published ten years ago and still on sale in local bookshops and major stores. You can also buy it directly from the school - contact Mrs Clare in Library. www.sylviakent.blogspot.com
